No weight loss for a month

Has anyone hit a wall where they have not lost any weight for about a month? I am now 9 months post-op and I can't seem to lose any more weight. I have lost 98 lbs so far and want to get past the 100 lb mark.
Thanks,
Vicki

You have to reevaluate what you are doing. Are you eating what you are supposed to be eating? Are you keeping the quantities where they should be? Are you exercising? Even just a short walk everyday! Have you considered water aerobics? I love, love, love water aerobics!! Concerned about what you would look like in a bathing suit? I have looked around my group and there isn't a bathing beauty swimsuit model anywhere! Yeah, I look like hell in a bathing suit, but I have a blast in the water. And you don't sweat at all!! My kind of exercise. And if anyone tells you that's not exercise, see how many muscles you didn't know you had make you sore the first few times! It's a great low impact exercise. Another controversial remedy, and it has worked for me, is jumpstart your metabolism by eating just a little more for a day or two. It may break the plateau. Hope this helps.

I agree with Pam. Our bodies adapt so easily to what we do. I wanted to loose 10 more pounds and I have been loosing really slow. So I picked up my exercise routine and am working on returning to basics. High protein and low carbs...lost 4 pounds this week, so it works...just have to use the tool properly. I think the biggest part of it is getting the carb intake down...especially in the absence of high energy exercise. Hope you get through this quickly.

I am only 5.5 weeks post op and I have hit a plateau before. I lost about 12 lbs and just stopped. I only recently lost 4 more lbs. It is sooo frustrating, but I remember what Charlene (newme757)told me. She said, that throughout your weight loss you will reach a plateau where you will go weeks without losing weight. Then all at once BAM! you lose a few lbs. Sometimes more. So keep up the hard work. Exercise a little more. Break that plateau. I know you can do it!! Keep the faith and God bless!

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
